To celebrate a beautiful fall day and honor our 20th anniversary my hubby and I kayaked on the Mississippi River around Goose Island. A fitting tribute to our honeymoon in the Boundary Waters; although that trip involved getting snowed on, nearly capsizing in howling winds with frozen fingers.
Definitely memorable.
This day was perfectly filled with warm sunshine, a v of pelicans flying overhead, turtles sunning on logs and a rope swing hanging from a tree with echoes of children's delighted screams lingering in the air. All in all a joyful day filled with the peace of a river and some slightly sore shoulders. Here's to another 20 years....
Yes, 20 more years!
ReplyDeletethat looks like a wonderful day. I have an anniversary weekend planned for tomorrow - probably no kayaking but definitely hiking.
ReplyDeleteAnd how different the Mississippi looks up north - here in St. Louis it is wide, muddy (and dirty), and full of dangerous undercurrents.
congrats--here's to at least 20 more!
